(ThyBlackMan.com) Stephen, King Solomon and I had dinner last week and we were discussing your recent dinner with Donald Trump at the White House. He asked me to pass along a couple of messages to you. In Proverbs 15:23 Solomon told me, “A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!” And in Proverbs 17:28, Solomon told me […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) For many African-American families, homeownership represents more than having a place to live. It’s an opportunity to build stability, establish roots, and create something meaningful for future generations. Historically, discriminatory housing policies and unequal access to lending have made that opportunity harder to achieve for Black Americans. Although those barriers haven’t disappeared, investing in a home remains an important personal and community goal. Beyond the financial considerations, maintaining and […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Although personal safety alarms cannot prevent an attacker from continuing an attack, they do generate a loud and immediate signal that can deter the assailant. Their deterrent effect depends on surprise, sound level, access, and the user’s ability to activate the device quickly.  An alarm works best as one part of a broader safety plan, alongside awareness, distance, and an escape route. The answer becomes clearer after examining how […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) It’s not often that you hear the justices of the Supreme Court take on each other in their free time. That was left for biting dissents, of which there have been plenty lately. But that’s changing, and it needs to. One of those writing her share of biting dissents is former Harvard Law School Dean Elena Kagan. This week, she went public. In a conversation with Catholic University Professor […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) With less than two weeks until the midterm elections, things look bad for President Donald Trump’s Republican Party. Generic polls show significant movement away from Republicans and toward Democrats since Trump defeated former Vice President Kamala Harris by 50% to 48% two years ago. Republicans seem doomed to lose their exceedingly narrow House majority, although redistricting by both parties over the past two years has reduced the number of […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) A buffet table brings storage and serving space into a dining room, but the wrong size does more harm than good. Too large, and it chokes the walkway. Too small, and it looks lost against the wall.  Most homeowners eyeball the dimensions, then wind up with a piece that crowds the room or wastes good wall space.  Getting the size right starts with the room’s actual measurements and a […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Standing desks, two monitors, and espresso machines are staples in every office’s budget. Conference room chairs rarely get the same attention. That gap becomes obvious about forty minutes into a meeting, when people start shifting in their seats and glancing at the door.  Bad chairs shorten productive conversation and pull focus away from the agenda. No facilitation technique fixes a room full of distracted, uncomfortable people. The following sections […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) A routine dental visit checks more than visible tooth problems. The dentist reviews the medical history, examines the teeth and gums, removes plaque buildup, and identifies any changes that need attention. X-rays are taken when symptoms, age, or dental history make them useful. Patients also receive practical guidance about brushing, flossing, diet, and future care. Knowing each step helps patients arrive prepared and recognize when follow-up treatment is needed, beginning […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The 2026 college football has the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference with two teams led by former NFL all-stars as head coaches vying for the top of the conference. Norfolk State is seeing a big improvement in wins in 2026 by its team managed by head coach Michael Vick and Delaware State is building off the solid 2025 season led by head coach DeSean Jackson. Jackson’s NFL career was full of […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) French economist Gabriel Zucman has come to California bearing a familiar French solution to a fiscal problem: another tax. Once based at the University of California, Berkeley, Zucman is back and campaigning for Proposition 40, which would impose an allegedly one-time five percent tax on the net worth of Californians worth more than $1 billion. Zucman, who coauthored the proposition, estimates that the tax could raise about $100 billion […]
